Re: (67,689) (67,708) by Lila from United States Bravo, Mimi L. Let it be known across the lands, in every corner of the Earth. Stella has done nothing for Mariah but bring drama. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 15:41)

Re: More new photos (67,701) (67,707) by RibbonB from USA I say we stop feeding it. Let it starve. This mess will be going on until the show airs. Maybe let's just ignore it all. I have been doubtful about the show's appeal and these moves just speak of desperation. I for one am just going to let it do what it do. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 15:39)

Instagram comments harsh on Stella (67,705) by Ty from USA They going in on her. Wow. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 15:31)

(67,704) by Natalia from Italy As I look at all of your lists there is a common theme. They are all classic videos/songs from the past. I don't think anyone mentioned a newer song as their top 5. Along with the cray cray antics that we have witnessed over the last few years, I have come to a sad conclusion. "The dream is over, yesterday." To quote a John Lennon song. The Mariah we all grew to love and worship is gone with the wind. This "new Mariah" or "clone Mariah" is on such a lower level than her previous self that she can't even function without the witch by her side. It's so disturbing to me. Mariah's career as we know it is over. The sooner we face that the better off we will be. Sure there will be lots of "queens of denial" out there, claiming that a new album and a new #1 is just around the corner, but I think there is a better chance that little green aliens are going to land on live TV for the world to see. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but in my heart I feel that all this wackyness is a last attempt to get attention, because nobody really cares about Mariah Carey "the singer" anymore, except her fans that fell in love with the "real Mariah from 1990".

More new photos (67,701) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah with Bryan. Anyone who still thinks that they are not doing this to get attention/ratings and that these are not staged are really wearing some nice rose colored shades and I'd like to know where they buy it from, I need a pair. Because with the sudden ring movements and constant being photographed with Bryan and all those messy instagram posts alluding to these tabloids smell quite fishy. So until then "shame on me", while I "lick my lips like a vulture". You all are right that this is all innocent and that neither Stella nor Mariah would ever do anything just for the sake of publicity *eye roll*. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 15:12)

Re: Re: New pictures (67,691) (67,699) (67,700) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok so she seems to be playing with us. Check out her hands on this and this. On the first one you can see her engagement ring on her right hand middle finger, (weirdly it's not all the way in, it's like mid way in) with the butterfly one on her left hand. Then in the second picture you can see she switched it to the ring finger on her right hand. Then in this it's completely gone. What on earth? (Sunday 30 October 2016; 15:03)

Re: New pictures (67,691) (67,699) by RibbonB from USA Yes, looks like she is back to the butterfly ring. Hopefully that makes things clearer for some. That article just assumed it was the old rock and not her old butterfly ring. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 14:43)

Stella (67,698) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Is "Hella" going through a breakdown? What's up with her posts? Seriously who are these pointed at though? It's like she wants so much attention that Mariah is starting to look like a hanger-on/side kick in her own entourage. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 14:32)

Re: New Insta post (67,690) (67,697) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Will you at least stay and give me life with your awesome posts? (Sunday 30 October 2016; 13:51)

Christmas era will quiet all this drama? (67,696) by Ty from USA Let's hope so, just seems like the public loves tearing Mariah apart. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 13:47)

New sound? (67,695) by Matt from Australia Are we all agreed it's time to step away from the rappers crowding Mariah's songs? I like that Gaga has (hopefully) reintroduced a more raw sound to music. I hope in the new era Mariah gets into the studio on a good day and gives us all she's got without over-production or voice enhancements. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 13:24)

The next era (67,694) by Matt from Australia I've seen a few posts recently discussing what Mariah's next era should be like. I think it is her last chance to have mainstream success from the release of an album and she knows it. The stakes are high (assuming she still cares about cultural impact and sales). I agree with the general sentiment that her next album should be "fun". Love it or hate it all this partying, revealing outfits/pics, tabloid drama and reality TV talk is definitely keeping her relevant in wider media and should be the groundwork for a mid to up tempo radio hit if executed properly. However I must say 14 versions of It's Like That would be such a wasted opportunity for her next album as she clearly has some work to do in connecting with the real fans (and reconnecting with those she's lost). Single releases should definitely be loaded with those mid to up tempo ear worms (accompanied with high quality videos that aren't just shots of her looking sexy). However in addition I also think the album should have a running motif letting us know who the hell she is at this moment. I think it's this air of untouchability that has disillusioned so many who felt they connected with her in the past. Why can't a "legendary diva" be dissected and show real human emotion (without the dramatics). The reference point should be an interview uploaded on YouTube titled "The Lost Mariah Carey Interview 1999" - if you haven't already you need to check this out. This girl was fun, highly intelligent, unafraid to talk about her flaws and insecurities, business savvy and most importantly made it clear her knowledge of music and artistry is incomparable amongst her peers. What is it really like to be Mariah Carey at this point in her life and career - without the "bleak" and the "dahling" charade. There must be so much to say, tell us what you divulge to Stella over a few splashes. Let us in on your insecurities, whether it be about your image, your career, your love life - I'm sure we can all relate in some way. And please reflect this in meaningful interviews, show them you aren't just a vacuous caricature. Maybe she tried this with MIAM but it just lacked context and lacks engagement with the listener. A good artist can turn such emotions into a hot record and if she can make these personal statements relatable to all with a few catchy tunes then in my view she has a winner.

None of the that sh*t is true (67,693) by JAXGH from United States Mariah still has her engagement ring. She's probably laughing at all the b*llshit rumors circling around lmao. She cancelled some portions of her tour which is fine. Nobody likes to lose money. She's not the only artist to do so. Whatever the reason is, life must go on, the show must go on. She's happy and dressing it up with dem babies, loving life. She's gearing up for a reality show, a tour, a new studio album, new tv appearances, looking better than ever. Her season is about to start, everyone just needs to enjoy the ride. She's working, she has projects and we all should just be happy she's alive, waking up every morning, giving us what she still got. Kisses to all the lambs. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 11:13)

New pictures (67,691) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah out there looking like a living Barbie doll. She looks so beautiful and radiant and I love her hair here. Love the natural makeup here and she also looks so much younger fresh faced almost like 2008. Here's a side view. One of her best looks this year (I could live without the fish net stalkings though). Slight closeup shot. She seems to have taken the ring off. Anyways, she looks beautiful and radiant. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 10:34)

Re: New Insta post (67,688) (67,690) by Licia from USA I just unfollowed Mariah on Instagram. I'm over it. I'm getting off the train. I wish her and the nonsense well. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 10:32)

Re: (67,684) (67,689) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Let me just correct you right there, the European leg of the SSFT was already lined up pre-Stella. It was basically the European leg of the Elusive Chanteuse tour, but since "we don't know MIAM" anymore, those songs were scrapped and instead it was shaped up to be more of a nostalgia run to coincide with her then newly released #1's CD. The Vegas residency was also lined up before Stella. In fact it was in the talks while she was with Nick. She announced it end of 2014/beginning of January 2015 and this things don't happen in 1-2 days. They were in negotiations for a long time. The Carpool Karaoke happened because James Corden invited Mariah and she accepted. Stella didn't book that job. Annual Christmas shows started from 2014. That was way before Stella even came into the picture. As for Empire, Mariah was supposed to be on Empire since its first season. It kept getting delayed, but there was no doubt she'd be on the show considering the fact that it's Lee's show and Lee always gets Mariah to make appearances in his movies. So I don't see why anyone should credit Stella for these. I get it if you like her, that's completely your right, but please don't inflate her achievements by crediting her for stuff she didn't do. You can credit her for maybe the magazine covers and the half baked interviews and the Christmas movie and Mariah's World, but the others you mentioned were already finalized or in negotiations stage before Stella was even in the picture. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 10:20)

Re: New Insta post (67,687) (67,688) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ok I just realized "Woman's Day" is the magazine that first ran the story about the break up. But why does Mariah need to post about it on her insta? I don't get her new found love of posting everything on social media. Plus I love how Stella is trying to make herself be a bigger part of this story. In Woman's Day story, they didn't even mention Stella. So why are are trying to insert yourself? Do I smell a new reality show coming up with Stella and her mini mes? (Sunday 30 October 2016; 10:03)

New Insta post (67,687) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What is up with this post? The caption is weird. Haha I swear, this Stella really needs to tone down the drama, the contour and the highlight. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 9:49)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey "devastated" by James Packer breakup (67,678) (67,686) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They can't decide whether Mariah left him because he is mentally unstable and abusive or whether he left Mariah. Jeez. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 8:49)

(67,684) by radhames from Curacao I must admit, I come on the board everyday because I am a Lamb. I read most of the messages and all the news. I am adicted to this woman since I saw the We Belong Together performance in VMA's 2005. After that I realised I've bought 2 just released albums when I was with vacation in New York; Shakira's and Mariah's album Charmbracelet. I read so many messages about her personal life and I'm like, WTF lambs? The woman is 46 years old and can be my mother. How could I say I know what's best for her? Really? If she wanna hook up with another billionaire or go back to Nick, it's her and her personal life. Some lambs come here to express their hate towards Stella. I won't go much into that lane, but I am sure happy she came along and changed the game. The European leg of the SSFT, you guys already forget how amazing this was? The Vegas residency? Hallmark Christmas special? The first Car Pool Karaoke? Annual Christmas shows? Empire? All those things planned by Stella, her manager. Seriously guys? Lol, let me stop rambling. What I want to say is to just stop complaining and go reflect to the time you became a fan and apreciate the music. Not what she does in her personal life. Now during all the media hysteria I go and listen to Daydream, Butterfly albums, watch her recent live perfomances and I'm like damn, I am so proud to be a lamb. Often Imitated, But Never Duplicated. Bye. SD: I saw a top 10 music video message that made me so happy, because there are still some real lambs here, and not [censored]. (Sunday 30 October 2016; 8:21)
